Chapter23

"Yes, Anirudh. You also must be very hungry" Saurav added hiding his smile.

"Aare Bhai sahab, understand the emotions. The hunger for love is much more greater and difficult than the hunger for food. and our Anirudh Babu is in prolonged starvation....of this love...for the long ten years. finally he found his mehbooba by the grace of almighty. But still It's not easy to remove so soon..."

Anirudh couldn't understand whether Salim had spoken in his favour or was teamed up with them but his face flushed to hear Salim's statement. gaze shifted here and there, still couldn't hide that sheepish grin of his face. Out of extreme shyness Bondita was going to run away from there but her lover Babu held her hand from behind. She pleaded her Sampoorna Didi, Bela and other ladies through eyes to get her out of the embarrassing situation but in return received their teasing grin.

Somnath whispered something to everyone, all at once they were whooping with laughter, passing teasing look to Anirudh_Bondita and asked them to marry as soon as possible. Anirudh voiced promptly..."No need that" and they found another topic to tease them. But Anirudh rolled his eyes royally at their constant leg pulling, bad luck , couldn't ignore Kaka's stern expression. His hold around Bondita's hand tightened thus alarming her too.

Trilochan was sitting on his royal chair with Anidita and Anirbon on either side of him. Anirudh and Bondita were standing infront of him like culprits, Gulping hard under Kaka's murderous gaze. Being sharp-witted they were well aware of the meaning behind that expression of Kaka. Glancing at Kaka's deadpan face'Anirudh forcibly showed his thirty two, scratched the back of his head with his hand, decided to count how many piller there were around him and Bondita chose to admire the marvelous floor..how clean and shining it w........

"Am I being seen everywhere??" Trilochan shouted in frustration, after a long time not getting their attention. They nodded vigorously. "Then just look infront of you, I mean, look at me" they obliged fearfully.

Trilochan sighed "What nonsense were you blabbering there? you again started just mere friends chanting! even ten years ago I told you two to get married, if you had agreed to my words, then all this would not have happened. But you two are supper Gadha friendzoned each other and I can see exactly what kinds of friendship it was..." Trilochan ended indicating Anidita and Anirbon, again making the two red in embarrassment.

"Whatever, now get ready for the marriage, otherwise...."Trilochan stopped to see them whispering something to each other. "Now what........ar-are you two planning to siblings zoned each other?" Anirudh coughed badly, looked at his Kaka in horror. Thinking about kaka's words when gaze shifted to Anidita and Anirbon both shouted in perturbation. "Noo!!" How horrific envision it was !

"Why should we marry again, when we are already married..." Blurted Instantly trying to save the purity of their relationship.

"Whattt?!!!" Trilochan squealed pulling everyone's attention. "When? Where?" He queried in a bit Lower tone but in one breath.

"Jaha se humara Safar hua tha (where our journey began) Anirudh said with a small smile.

"You mean, Radhakrishna temple!" Binoy put in surprised.

They nodded grinning. Bondita squeezed his hand, beckoning him to tell further.....

Last night....Radhakrishna Temple..

He held out his hand to her, smiling with moist eyes. Understanding his gesture she kept her hand on his, held that tightly. They looked towards the idol of Radha-Krishna. Taking a deep breath Anirudh removed the pendant from his neck , Bondita too did the same. Then, they touched the feet of Radhakrishna with their joining pendant and kissed on that softly.
